By understanding everything you perceive from the perspective of the view, you are freed from the constraints of philosophical beliefs.By understanding that any and all mental activity is meditation, you are freed from arbitrary divisions between formal sessions and postmeditation activity.- Longchen Rabjam -

Actually, I thought your post was great, Magnus. I've thought about it quite a bit, especially in light of what someone else (was it Andrew?) posted subsequently about how he knows many senior practioners who after so many years get stuck with 'no achievement' (hope I'm remembering that post correctly).

In any case, I was just blithering, adding what was most likely, just something extra. Most people simply ignore what I post as they should.

For beings' poor exhausted mind, all is real and solid. That sadly creates suffering by mental states which are the traps for worldly concern, worldly preocupations (pain, pleasure...) Then emotions are the boss of rolling thoughts, the army for stealing peace.

Do not rely on the individual, but on the Dharma: samsara is build with the rocks of me and others. In Dzogchen is not such me and others.

Do not on the words, but on the meaning; words should not be taken as being solid through analysis based on right mental fabrication (get the moon reflection out with a bucket) to understand what is always, not to find out there behind the correct expressed corner.

Do not rely on the provisional meaning, but on the definitive meaning; In which no grasping is available.

Do not rely on the ordinary mind, but rely on wisdom; Bodhichitta.

Homage to the Dzogchen masters!I bow down for all beings having the capacity to realize how all appaers and how all is!

Shechen Gyaltsap: "Just as sesame oil pervades seeds, the essence of the tathagatasis primordial present and inseparable fromthe basis state of all beings."
